Westbrook didn’t work out. None of the pieces fit this time. What is the best starting 5 you can have around Lebron while he can still stat pad the way he must? I guess you need defense, 3s and some iso. Irving was a good piece for Lebron. You really need guys that can do everything or their weaknesses will show with Lebron.

Paul (can shoot 3, iso, play off the ball and play d
Klay (3 and D)
Lebron
Green (defense, keep the ball moving)
Jokic (3s, scoring and D)

AD might be the most complimentary player to Lebron. Maybe he could shoot better from 3. Kyrie was a great fit. Great iso player, not really a pg. All the other stars didnt look great with Lebron. He could be great with Klay but Jokic+Lebron doesn't make sense. Jokic is a better passer but Lebron would hold the ball most of the time.

Start him at PG

His ball-domination isn't abnormal for a PG, but it's abnormal for a forward, which hurts ball movement and team assists compared to other teams whose forwards are highly-assisted, off-ball players.

And have him defend a small, quick guard? Interesting tactic:D

Magic won 5 titles by guarding the slowest guy on the other team, usually a SF or PF

And didn't the Lakers go from lottery to champion in 1 year by putting him at PG - this actually allowed AD to have the frontcourt to himself.

Lebron isn't the genius everyone makes him out to be

Btw, Broussard pointed out a massive tactical error by the current Lakers:

They're #1 in pace even though Lebron always won at the slowest paces in the league - that's what Broussard said.

And I'll add that the Lakers don't have the jumpshooting to play at that pace and therefore are getting blown away by better jumpshooting teams that have NO PROBLEM playing at that pace.

It might be different if Lebron and/or Westbrook had elite jumpshooting skill and could "pop off" whenever they wanted - but they're lumbering ball-dominators in a league that's trending more towards jumpshooting... But hey, maybe AD can come back and play like Kareem again (2020) to save the Lakers (again).

Let someone besides Lebron be the GM.

Let someone besides Lebron be the GM.

Too late, his banana boat superfriends have already accepted the doctrine that he is the GM. This conversation probably happened in what Lebron calls the "War room".

James also had a hand in the Lakers landing supporting cast members like his close friend Carmelo Anthony.

Anthony said on the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast that James told him, "The time is now" to team up, calling James "the GM."

Anthony said he told James, "You the GM."

Lol. And yet the Lebronies will put the blame on anyone and everyone but him.

Pretty much what you said. As long as he has the most stacked team in the league he has a chance at winning a title. The chances are lower than every ATG in his shoes but still.

LeBron always finds a qay to make the puzzles fits and wins. Let me put it this way; I don't know how he managed to do it.
